Messe Stuttgart's American subsidiary has a new president.
Philip McKay (pictured) took up the role of president at Messe Stuttgart Inc. on 1 October. He is also CEO of nGage events, a private organiser of trade fairs, exhibitions and conferences in the USA, based in Scarborough, Maine.
Prior to founding nGage events in 2012, McKay held executive roles at many global companies including Gartner, Key3Media, World Market Center and Questex. “In Philip McKay, we are gaining an experienced event professional to continue exploiting the growth potential in the American market,” says Roland Bleinroth, president and CEO of Messe Stuttgart. “McKay is very much at home in the trade fair business and knows our industry very well. We have thus created the optimum basis for further expansion of our international business together.”
A new project is already waiting in the wings: The Sun Shading Expo North America is being held for the first time in Charlotte, North Carolina, 12-14 October 2022. The event is an offshoot of the R+T in Stuttgart, which takes place every three years. This is the trade fair for roller shutters, doors and sun shading systems.
Messe Stuttgart has been active in the USA with its own subsidiary for almost 10 years. It is part of a network of subsidiaries and foreign representatives in over 50 countries.
